Dermot O’Leary has a new TV series where the audience can win big money
Dermot O’Leary has admitted he has turned down jobs because his family comes first saying “You’ve only got one life”. In his younger days when he was The X Factor host, Dermot would travel the world for weeks and be working weekends for huge chunks of the year, but now his priorities have shifted.
He lives in London with wife Dee Koppang O’Leary and their four-year-old son Kasper. Launching his new TV series Silence Is Golden, Dermot said: “I’m at stage now, a very happy, comfortable stage. You don’t necessarily always have the luxury of it, but I feel like I want to do things now that interest me,. And I want to do things that fit around my life.

“It wasn’t necessarily I wanted to do a comedy game show. I mean, I’m desperate for it to succeed. I’m passionate about it and I want to do another one, but so many things have to align for that to happen. So this was more about that it felt like it was something different.”
He added: “There’s a couple of jobs I’ve turned down since we’ve had Kasper that I would love to have done, but I’m not going to go away for the amount of time. Not unless he was with me. You’ve only got one life.”
Dermot’s wife Dee was a director on Disney+ hit drama Rivals and also worked on Netflix’s The Crown. They split their workloads and try to make sure one of them is off or they aren’t both on big projects at the same time for the sake of their son. “It’s 50-50 now(with wife) she’s flying, she really is,” Dermot added.
Dermot hosted The X Factor for eight years, from 2007 to 2014, returning in 2015 for the final three series.
He currently hosts This Morning on ITV on Fridays with Alison Hammond and also has his own Radio 2 weekend show.
